happy things

It's been five days since I posted my latest fic, "The Spotter's Guide to the Doctor," and it got a hugely positive reception, so much so that it's left me a little dumbfounded. In fact, based on the number of reviews and favorites, it is now my most popular story on Teaspoon. Given that before this it had been five months since I'd completed a fic, I'm feeling pretty happy right now. I should write fanfic more often, shouldn't I? (Not that I haven't been trying to work on that . . . )

Another thing that's making me happy is the return of Sarah Jane Adventures! Elisabeth Sladen did a marvelous acting job in "The Nightmare Man," and it's just wonderful to see the show back again.

Something else that is making me very happy: we are now just two weeks away from the episode of SJA! Is it possible to grin continuously for two weeks? I think I might be finding out!

Finally, on a less self-absorbed note, all the trapped Chilean miners are now free! It was great to see so many people come together and successfully pull off such a complicated rescue. Watching that capsule go down and up was the best reality television show ever. Vive Chile!

RITE MOAR!

:D

I still need to catch SJA :( Am... acquiring... the episodes as I'm typing this, seeing as I'm in my parents' house and have proper internet, hoozah! And yeah, I can't wait til these episodes, too! I'll have to make sure my work-time surfing is spoiler avoiding...

RITE MOAR!

I'm going to try, in about 1 hour and 11 minutes . . . :D

Yes, give SJA a try! See what I said to [personal profile] thisbluespirit above. They do have some clunker episodes, but then so does Doctor Who, and the overall quality is excellent.

Oh, nononono! I've definitely watched SJA and love it! Just not the two episodes from series 4 that were already broadcast :D I'm eagerly anticipating it.

(hooray for writing moar!)

Oh, I get it now. And actually, maybe that's what [personal profile] thisbluespirit meant, too. Sorry, it's been a long week . . .

Anyway, yes, I thought "Nightmare Man" was very good! Hope you enjoy it.
